CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a divisional of U.S. Ser. No. 13/187,091 filed Jul. 20, 2011. This application claims priority of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. U.S. 61/365,924, filed Jul. 20, 2010, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There is an acute need for new insecticides and acaricides. Insects and mites are developing resistance to known insecticides and acaricides. At least 400 species of arthropods are resistant to one or more insecticides. The development of resistance to some of the older insecticides, such as DDT, the carbamates, and the organophosphates, is well known. Resistance has even developed to some of the newer pyrethroid insecticides and acaricides. Therefore a need exists for new insecticides and acaricides, and particularly for compounds that have new or atypical modes of action.

The present invention provides novel compounds with broad-spectrum activity against insects.

The phrase “optionally substituted” is used interchangeably with the phrase “substituted or unsubstituted.” As described herein, compounds of the invention can optionally be substituted with one or more substituents, such as are illustrated generally above, or as exemplified by particular classes, subclasses, and species of the invention. As described herein, the variables R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄, R₅, R₆, R₇, R₈, R₉, R₁₀, R₁₁, R₁₂, R₁₃, R₂₀, R₂₁, R₂₂, R₂₃, and other variables contained therein encompass specific groups, such as alkyl and aryl. Unless otherwise noted, each of the specific groups for the variables R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄, R₅, R₆, R₇, R₈, R₉, R₁₀, R₁₁, R₁₂, R₁₃, R₂₀, R₂₁, R₂₂, R₂₃, and other variables contained therein can be optionally substituted with one or more substituents described herein. Each substituent of a specific group is further optionally substituted with one to three of halo, cyano, oxoalkoxy, hydroxy, amino, nitro, aryl, haloalkyl, and alkyl.

As an additional example, the cycloalkyl portion of a (cycloalkyl)carbonylamino can be optionally substituted with one to three of halo, cyano, alkoxy, hydroxy, nitro, haloalkyl, and alkyl. When two alkoxy groups are bound to the same atom or adjacent atoms, the two alkxoy groups can form a ring together with the atom(s) to which they are bound.

In general, the term “substituted,” whether preceded by the term “optionally” or not, refers to the replacement of hydrogen radicals in a given structure with the radical of a specified substituent. Specific substituents are described above in the definitions and below in the description of compounds and examples thereof. Unless otherwise indicated, an optionally substituted group can have a substituent at each substitutable position of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure can be substituted with more than one substituent selected from a specified group, the substituent can be either the same or different at every position. A ring substituent, such as a heterocycloalkyl, can be bound to another ring, such as a cycloalkyl, to form a spiro-bicyclic ring system, e.g., both rings share one common atom. As one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize, combinations of substituents envisioned by this invention are those combinations that result in the formation of stable or chemically feasible compounds.

The phrase “stable or chemically feasible,” as used herein, refers to compounds that are not substantially altered when subjected to conditions to allow for their production, detection, and preferably their recovery, purification, and use for one or more of the purposes disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a stable compound or chemically feasible compound is one that is not substantially altered when kept at a temperature of 40° C. or less, in the absence of moisture or other chemically reactive conditions, for at least a week.

Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include all isomeric (e.g., enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational)) forms of the structure; for example, the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center, (Z) and (E) double bond isomers, and (Z) and (E) conformational isomers. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational) mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the invention.

Unless otherwise stated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the invention are within the scope of the invention.

Additionally, unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structures except for the replacement of hydrogen by deuterium or tritium, or the replacement of a carbon by a ¹³C— or ¹⁴C-enriched carbon are within the scope of this invention. Such compounds are useful, for example, as analytical tools or probes in biological assays.

Method of Preparation

The following General Schemes with Formula are provided: General Scheme A, with Methods 1A, 1B and 1C; General Scheme B with Methods 2, 3, and 4; Example Scheme 1 for Example 1.

General Scheme A and Method 1.

General Scheme A provides several routes to make the insecticidal compounds described herein. The compounds are prepared in three steps from known compounds. Method 1 Steps 1A, 2A and 3A is the preferred route to preparation of compounds wherein Y is N.

General Description for the Preparation of the Compounds, Schemes and Examples.

In General Method 1, Step 1A. The compounds of the Formula V are condensed with one equivalent of an organometallic of the Formula (VII) in a polar aprotic solvent to afford the aryl triazine derivative of the Formula (VIII). Lithium or magnesium is the preferred metal but other metals may also be used including but not limited to potassium, sodium, boron, zinc and tin. The reaction is allowed to proceed through the catalysis of palladium or other coupling catalysts known to those skilled in organic synthesis.

In General Method 1, Step 2A. The 2-aryl-4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine of the Formula (VIII) is treated with a primary alkyl, aryl or heteroaryl amine in a polar aprotic solvent to afford the compound of the Formula (XI). The preferred base and solvent for the reaction of amines X—NH₂ are i-Pr₂EtN and THF, respectively, although other bases and polar aprotic solvents can be used.

In General Method 1, Step 3A(a-b). The triazine derivative of the Formula (XI) is first treated with excess hydrazine monohydrate in 1,4-dioxane to give an intermediate hydrazine 1,3,5-triazine derivative (XVIII—structure not shown). In most cases the product is not isolated but rather collected by a simple filtration and drying.

In General Method 1, the last Step. The hydrazino 1,3,5-triazine intermediate derivative (XVIII—structure not shown) is treated with an aldehyde or ketone in ethanol or a mixture of ethanol and another solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or dichloromethane to give the arylamino-1,3,5-triazinohydrazone of the Formula XVI. While Steps 1-3 depict a particular sequence, Steps 1 and 2 can be conducted in either order. It is, however, preferable to conduct Step 3 after Steps 1 & 2 have been completed.

The compounds of Formula (XVI) may also be made by treating the starting trihalotriazine (V) or the secondarily formed dihaloheterocycles (VIII) with the preformed hydrazone, R₂R₃CNNH₂ in the presence of base in an aprotic solvent such as 1,4-dioxane to form haloheterocycles as shown in Steps 2C and 3C of General Method IC. The aryl hydrazone of the Formula, R₂R₃C═NNH—, can be prepared from the corresponding aldehyde or ketone (J. Org. Chem. 1966, 31, 677). The final compounds of Formula (I) may be completed by the addition of primary amines X—NH₂ under the conditions described previously.

There are no regioisomeric possibilities with the triazine core products (XVI) and the above described sequence in Method 1A is preferred. It is sometimes desirable to switch the order of addition of the Z and XNH— substituents as illustrated in Steps 1B and 2B of Method 1B. The order of addition of groups to the starting trihalo compounds is strongly determinative of the relative regiopositioning of the pendant groups in pyrimidines of Formulas (I) and consequent placement into structural classes (II-IV). In order to prepare the pyrimidine regioisomers II-IV, the order of attachment of the pendant groups Z, X—NH₂ and the hydrazone must be changed. This is illustrated in Methods 2, 3 and 4, below.

General Method 1A Step 1A.1. Also Example 1 For this general method we also provide a specific detailed example, i.e. Example 1, which is the compound named N-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-6-(2-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzylidene)hydrazinyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (1). See also Example Scheme 1, above. A solution of lithium diisopropylamine in tetrahydrofuran (THF) (15 mL, 2M, 30 mmol) was added dropwise to a room temperature stirred suspension of triethylamine hydrochloride (0.25 g, 1.8 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF; 10 mL). When the mixture became homogeneous, the solution was cooled to −78° C. in a dry-ice/acetone bath. Neat 1,3-difluorobenzene (3 mL, 30.4 mmol) was added dropwise and the solution stirred for 15 minutes. The −78° C. solution was poured rapidly into a −78° C. solution of cyanuric chloride (5.5 g, 30 mmol) in dry THF (25 mL). The dry-ice/acetone cold bath was removed and the mixture allowed to come to room temperature. Once at room temperature the orange-red mixture was poured into 100 mL of saturated aqueous bicarbonate solution. The mixture was allowed to stand for 15 minutes. Hexanes (100 mL) were added and after thorough mixing the organic layer was separated from the aqueous layer. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and then filtered to remove the magnesium sulfate. The solution was concentrated on a rotary evaporator to yield an oil. The oil was dissolved in a minimal amount of methylene chloride and loaded onto 100 g of silica gel. The silica gel was eluted with 10% ethyl acetate in hexanes. The organic eluent was concentrated on a rotary evaporator and the product precipitated from methylene chloride and hexane to yield 0.7 g of 2,4-dichloro-6-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (XXV).

This document will sometimes refer to the variables R₁, R₂, R₃, Z and X as “pendant groups.” Pendant groups are chemical moieties attached to the core moiety. Sometime pendant groups are attached to the core moiety at preferred pendant positions, as are shown in Formula XVI, II, III, and IV. Tables of various pendant groups, both specific and generic are provided herein, see Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Table 7 shows the actual pendant groups as they are positioned on the examples with data. Table 5 shows the pendant groups from the examples with data and it should be understood that each group can be used at different positions as different substituents on the core moiety. Table 6 provides notional examples of compounds that can be made using the procedures described herein and the skill of one of ordinary skill in the art. They are expected to be highly active. The Table 6 pendant groups are shown in their preferred positions but they could be used in combination with any of the other pendant groups from any of Tables 1-5, at any position and preferably at the pendant positions. The compounds of the invention can be made with any pendant group, positioned at any pendant group position. Applicants' have discovered that the activity of these compounds increases if the X and the R₂ or R₃ pendant groups have substituents at the para position. In addition, Applicants' have discovered that substitutions on the Z pendant group position are more active when the Z group has ortho substituents. Many examples of this can be found, e.g. Examples 1, 4, 8-13 and others. Surprisingly we have also found that high levels of activity can be generated in a compound when an active “para position substituent” like the one in Example r at position R₂/R₃ is moved to the “Z position” and the “ortho position substituent” at the Z position in Example r is moved to the R₂/R₃ position. An example of this phenomena of high value moiety transference of high activity can be found in Example 48. Both Examples 4 and 48 have “A” levels of activity. Example 4 has a R₂/R₃ pendant group substituted at the para position and a Z pendant group substituted at the ortho position. Example 4 is highly active and yet when Z is given the para-trifluoromethoxy phenyl substituent and R₂/R₃ is given the ortho di halo phenyl substituent, as in Example 48, then Example 48 also displays high levels of activity.

The following Table 5 is provided to further describe the compounds of the invention and to show and disclose how the substituents Z, X and R₂ and R₃ may be replaced various groups and by one another. The variables are taken from the substituents on the compounds in Table 8. Table 5 shows the substituents from the compounds shown in Table 8 in the same order as the compounds are presented in Table 8.

Insecticidal Testing

The compounds identified in Table 8 were prepared according to the previous methods and were tested against beet armyworm and corn earworm as follows:

Insecticidal Test for Beet Armyworm (Spodoptera exigua).

To prepare the test solution, the test compound was Formulated at 3499 ppm in solution as 5 mg compound/1.429 mL of 9 parts acetone: 1 part deionized H₂O and vortexed to homogenize. 50 μL of the 3499 ppm (equivalent to 100 μg/cm² dose on diet surface area) test solution was pipetted upon the surface of 1 mL of solidified cool Southland Products Incorporated Beet Armyworm Diet (201 Stuart Island Road Lake Village, Ark. 71653) using an Eppendorf Repeater Plus with a 1 mL pipette tip. All pipetting of treatments was done in a Labconco Hood. Thirty minutes were allowed for the acetone to evaporate leaving a dose of 100 μg/cm² on the surface of the artificial diet. Two 24 hour old first instar Beet Armyworm (Spodoptera Exigua) larvae were placed in each well of the 128 well Bio-BA 128 Bioassay trays (CD International, Pitman, N.J., 08071, USA) using a #0 fine camel hair paint brush. Bioassay trays were sectioned into treatment groups of 8 with 16 replicates per treatment group (32 insects per treatment). Trays containing the treated diet and larvae were covered with a Bio-CV-16 cover (CD International, Pitman, N.J., 08071, USA) and then placed on a rack under florescent lights at 27° C., 20% relative humidity (RH) in the room, and 16 hr light: 8 hr dark for 96 hours. Observations were made 24, 48 and 96 hours after treatment and infestation. The number of insects dead were counted out of the 32 insects total per treatment and the results are given in a table as a percent mortality at a dose of 100 μg/cm². When finished, the tray was moved to the −5° C. freezer and left for 24 hr to insure mortality of the remaining S. exigua. After 24 hours, dispose of entire tray into waste bin.

Keys to the table: Mortality refers to activity against beet army worm (Spodoptera exigua) as defined above at the concentration of 100 μg/cm² (A=76-100% mortality, B=51-75% mortality, C=26-50% mortality and D=0-25% mortality).

The compounds of the invention are useful for the control of invertebrates including insects. Therefore, the present invention also is directed to a method for inhibiting an insect which comprises applying an insect-inhibiting amount of a compound of Formula (I) to a locus of the insect, to the area to be protected, or directly on the insect to be controlled. The compounds of the invention may also be used to control other invertebrate pests such as mites and nematodes.

The “locus” of insects or other pests is a term used herein to refer to the environment in which the insects or other pests live or where their eggs are present, including the air surrounding them, the food they eat, or objects which they contact. For example, insects which eat, damage or contact edible, commodity, ornamental, turf or pasture plants can be controlled by applying the active compounds to the seed of the plant before planting, to the seedling, or cutting which is planted, the leaves, stems, fruits, grain, and/or roots, or to the soil or other growth medium before or after the crop is planted. Protection of these plants against virus, fungus or bacterium diseases may also be achieved indirectly through controlling sap-feeding pests such as whitefly, plant hopper, aphid and spider mite. Such plants include those which are bred through conventional approaches and which are genetically modified using modern biotechnology to gain insect-resistant, herbicide-resistant, nutrition-enhancement, and/or any other beneficial traits.

It is contemplated that the compounds might also be useful to protect textiles, paper, stored grain, seeds and other foodstuffs, houses and other buildings which may be occupied by humans and/or companion, farm, ranch, zoo, or other animals, by applying an active compound to or near such objects. Domesticated animals, buildings or human beings might be protected with the compounds by controlling invertebrate and/or nematode pests that are parasitic or are capable of transmitting infectious diseases. Such pests include, for example, chiggers, ticks, lice, mosquitoes, flies, fleas and heartworms. Nonagronomic applications also include invertebrate pest control in forests, in yards, along road sides and railroad right of way.

The term “inhibiting an insect” refers to a decrease in the numbers of living insects, or a decrease in the number of viable insect eggs. The extent of reduction accomplished by a compound depends, of course, upon the application rate of the compound, the particular compound used, and the target insect species. At least an inactivating amount should be used. The term “insect-inactivating amount” is used to describe the amount, which is sufficient to cause a measurable reduction in the treated insect population. Generally an amount in the range from about 1 to about 3500 ppm by weight active compound is used.

Compositions

The compounds of this invention are applied in the form of compositions which are important embodiments of the invention, and which comprise a compound of this invention and a phytologically-acceptable inert carrier. Control of the pests is achieved by applying compounds of the invention in forms of sprays, topical treatment, gels, seed coatings, microcapsulations, systemic uptake, baits, eartags, boluses, foggers, fumigants aerosols, dusts and many others. The compositions are either concentrated solid or liquid Formulations which are dispersed in water for application, or are dust or granular Formulations which are applied without further treatment. The compositions are prepared according to procedures and Formulae which are conventional in the agricultural chemical art, but which are novel and important because of the presence therein of the compounds of this invention. Some description of the Formulation of the compositions will be given, however, to assure that agricultural chemists can readily prepare any desired composition.

The dispersions in which the compounds are applied are most often aqueous suspensions or emulsions prepared from concentrated Formulations of the compounds. Such water-soluble, water-suspendable or emulsifiable Formulations are either solids, usually known as wettable powders, or liquids usually known as emulsifiable concentrates or aqueous suspensions. Wettable powders, which may be compacted to form water dispersible granules, comprise an intimate mixture of the active compound, an inert carrier, and surfactants. The concentration of the active compound is usually from about 10% to about 90% by weight. The inert carrier is usually chosen from among the attapulgite clays, the montmorillonite clays, the diatomaceous earths, or the purified silicates. Effective surfactants, comprising from about 0.5% to about 10% of the wettable powder, are found among the sulfonated lignins, the condensed naphthalenesulfonates, the naphthalenesulfonates, the alkylbenzenesulfonates, the alkyl sulfates, and nonionic surfactants such as ethylene oxide adducts of alkyl phenols.

Emulsifiable concentrates of the compounds comprise a convenient concentration of a compound, such as from about 50 to about 500 grams per liter of liquid, equivalent to about 10% to about 50%, dissolved in an inert carrier which is either a water miscible solvent or a mixture of water-immiscible organic solvent and emulsifiers. Useful organic solvents include aromatics, especially the xylenes, and the petroleum fractions, especially the high-boiling naphthalenic and olefinic portions of petroleum such as heavy aromatic naphtha. Other organic solvents may also be used, such as the terpenic solvents including rosin derivatives, aliphatic ketones such as cyclohexanone, and complex alcohols such as 2-ethoxyethanol. Suitable emulsifiers for emulsifiable concentrates are chosen from conventional anionic and/or nonionic surfactants, such as those discussed above.

Aqueous suspensions comprise suspensions of water-insoluble compounds of this invention, dispersed in an aqueous vehicle at a concentration in the range from about 5% to about 50% by weight. Suspensions are prepared by finely grinding the compound, and vigorously mixing it into a vehicle comprised of water and surfactants chosen from the same types discussed above. Inert ingredients, such as inorganic salts and synthetic or natural gums, may also be added, to increase the density and viscosity of the aqueous vehicle. It is often most effective to grind and mix the compound at the same time by preparing the aqueous mixture, and homogenizing it in an implement such as a sand mill, ball mill, or piston-type homogenizer.

The compounds may also be applied as granular compositions, which are particularly useful for applications to the soil. Granular compositions usually contain from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of the compound, dispersed in an inert carrier which consists entirely or in large part of clay or a similar inexpensive substance. Such compositions are usually prepared by dissolving the compound in a suitable solvent and applying it to a granular carrier which has been pre-formed to the appropriate particle size, in the range of from about 0.5 to 3 mm. Such compositions may also be Formulated by making a dough or paste of the carrier and compound and crushing and drying to obtain the desired granular particle size.

Dusts containing the compounds are prepared simply by intimately mixing the compound in powdered form with a suitable dusty agricultural carrier, such as kaolin clay, ground volcanic rock, and the like. Dusts can suitably contain from about 1% to about 10% of the compound.

It is equally practical, when desirable for any reason, to apply the compound in the form of a solution in an appropriate organic solvent, usually a bland petroleum oil, such as the spray oils, which are widely used in agricultural chemistry.

Insecticides and acaricides are generally applied in the form of a dispersion of the active ingredient in a liquid carrier. It is conventional to refer to application rates in terms of the concentration of active ingredient in the carrier. The most widely used carrier is water.

The compounds of the invention can also be applied in the form of an aerosol composition. In such compositions the active compound is dissolved or dispersed in an inert carrier, which is a pressure-generating propellant mixture. The aerosol composition is packaged in a container from which the mixture is dispensed through an atomizing valve. Propellant mixtures comprise either low-boiling halocarbons, which may be mixed with organic solvents, or aqueous suspensions pressurized with inert gases or gaseous hydrocarbons.

The actual amount of compound to be applied to loci of insects and mites is not critical and can readily be determined by those skilled in the art in view of the examples above. In general, concentrations from 10 ppm to 5000 ppm by weight of compound are expected to provide good control. With many of the compounds, concentrations from 100 to 1500 ppm will suffice.

The locus to which a compound is applied can be any locus inhabited by an insect or mite, for example, vegetable crops, fruit and nut trees, grape vines, ornamental plants, domesticated animals, the interior or exterior surfaces of buildings, and the soil around buildings.

Because of the unique ability of insect eggs to resist toxicant action, repeated applications may be desirable to control newly emerged larvae, as is true of other known insecticides and acaricides.

Systemic movement of compounds of the invention in plants may be utilized to control pests on one portion of the plant by applying the compounds to a different portion of it. For example, control of foliar-feeding insects can be controlled by drip irrigation or furrow application, or by treating the seed before planting. Seed treatment can be applied to all types of seeds, including those from which plants genetically transformed to express specialized traits will germinate. Representative examples include those expressing proteins toxic to invertebrate pests, such as Bacillus thuringiensis or other insecticidal proteins, those expressing herbicide resistance, such as “Roundup Ready®” seed, or those with “stacked” foreign genes expressing insecticidal proteins, herbicide resistance, nutrition-enhancement and/or any other beneficial traits.

An insecticidal bait composition consisting of compounds of the present invention and attractants and/or feeding stimulants may be used to increase efficacy of the insecticides against insect pest in a device such as trap, bait station, and the like. The bait composition is usually a solid, semi-solid (including gel) or liquid bait matrix including the stimulants and one or more non-microexcapsulated or microencapsulated insecticides in an amount effective to act as kill agents.

The compounds of the present invention (Formula I) are often applied in conjunction with one or more other insecticides or fungicides or herbicides to obtain control of a wider variety of pests diseases and weeds. When used in conjunction with other insecticides or fungicides or herbicides, the presently claimed compounds can be Formulated with the other insecticides or fungicides or herbicide, tank mixed with the other insecticides or fungicides or herbicides, or applied sequentially with the other insecticides or fungicides or herbicides.
